When the star falls on Christmas night
And the Christmas trimmings have left our sight,

Try to hold onto the joy and love
And peace that flows from the wings of a dove.

When the world gets crazy at the turn of the new year,
And dissent and anger brings doubt and fear,

Draw from that peace, in the deepest well
Or else you’ll feel like living hell

Be jolly and lighthearted come what may…
Fight despair and stay out of the fray.

Hold tight to the spirit joyous
Otherwise dissent will surely destroy us.

Recall the serenity the season brings,
Where eternal hope always springs.

Because the star came with a promise true,
That peace on earth is possible too.

Let it begin with me…
